💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

What are your strengths? Your weakness? Do you have any skills that demonstrate manual dexterity?
Why did you choose MUSC? Did you apply anywhere else? Where? Have you been on this campus before? Do you know anyone who attends or attended here? (It's very good if you do; however, I didn't)
Why do you want to be a dentist? Did you ever consider other fields?

What was the most interesting question?

One of my interviewers jokingly went down his interview checklist asking me: Are you mentally stable? Are you intelligent? Any emotional problems?....

What was the most difficult question?

Are you familiar with what a dental student does? (This was worded very vaguely and I didn't know how to answer.)

What impressed you positively?

Most everyone seemed very nice, and the students we talked with were very helpful. The interview day is designed to be very informative. The equipment seems up to date even if the building is old.

What impressed you negatively?

The location. The surrounding area is not very nice. The campus is great, but the building of the college of dental medicine is old. However, they are building a new state-of-the-art facility for it that should open in 2007, I think.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Charleston can be hard to navigate through with all the one-way streets, and that the interviews aren't as stressful as I thought they were.

What are your general comments?

A positive one. Overall, I was impressed with the school and its faculty. I look forward to attending there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
